Ministry Opportunities

We of the DMI Team really do believe God’s people want to be matured and built up in their faith in Jesus Christ.(Col 2:6&7)For over 15 years this has been our calling. We have seen the fruit of this passion as those we have trained are passing this same vision on to others. Thus DMI is about to embark on a new opportunity.

DMI has been offered 900 sq ft of newly renovated space in a retail location at the NWC of 51st Ave and Cactus through it's favor with a Christian owner. The cost to have our office in this location is approximately $300.00 per month plus electricity. DMI needs your help and we need it right away to make this move possible. If everyone who reads this blog were able to send a $100.00 donation immediately to DMI we could make this move by August 1st, 2010. The DMI Team takes no salaries nor do they profit in anyway as all donations are used for ministry purposes.

The opportunity this location provides is unlimited and we believe God has opened the door for us to expand the way we do ministry. For instance, we will offer weekly Bible Study & Discipling groups led by Betty Bublitz, myself and others along with leadership & evangelism training seminars. Also available will be weekly Christian Yoga classes, job interview training and preparing a resume. We are exploring various other ministy ideas and would be interested if you have an idea for our new facilities because we would like to hear about it.

Right now we need the following and would like to know if you would be willing to participate with us in any of these opportunities?

1-Helping us move to our new location.

2-Video/Podcast abilities to tape our events and put together short YouTube type videos

3-Host a fund raising opportunity

4-Donate a Computer & Printer

5-Volunteer bookkeeper 2-4 hours per month

6-Speakers/sound system to enhance seminars & trainings

7- 8’ Conference Table

8-Stackable chairs for meetings

9-Light Construction work to build out a 6' half wall adding a countertop with underneath shelves

10-Monthly committed givers-we can accept direct payments through your employer if you opt in for charitable contributions as most companies have this available

11-Committed prayer partners

12-Web designer/host who will get us back on the internet with an up to date site

I believe God is asking us to make the need known and take the ministry to another level & trust Him for the bounty. So that is what I am doing. Amen!

PS. DMI is a Non-Profit 501C3 ministry and we do give tax deductable receipts!

Father's Day

When the immigration issues came to light in Arizona I found myself wanting to call my Daddy for his opinion. He lived just a few miles north of the Mexico-Arizona border outside the town of Douglas. He loved the Mexican people and traveled into Mexico often helping with a small community of Christians just on the south side of the border in a little town called Nacco, Mexico. My dad often handed out a little booklet published by Campus Crusade for Christ called "Would You Like To Know God Personally" sharing his faith even when a Highway Patrol officer stopped him for a broken tail light. That same officer was days later called to the scene of a fatal accident on Highway 91 at Grants Road where my father, for a reason we will never know, did not stop, t-boning another vehicle. The horrific accident took the life of a young mother, her mother and my father. As I walked the area of the accident, there in the dirt of the desert, was the booklet. Covered in sand I almost passed it up for discarded trash but quickly realized the dusty little booklet would become my Father's legacy. At his service, my sister and I had each page copied onto a larger page and gave it as a handout to each of the 300+ people that lined the standing room only service. My dad was not a hero, he was not even always an ideal father, but he was my daddy and I loved him....and I miss him.
